Transcriptions contributed by Colin Greenstreet, Michael Powell-Davies, Jen Waghorn, and Charlie Wilson

Transcription conventions:
1. Transcribe as you see the text, using original spelling 2. Reproduce upper and lower case as written 3. Expand contractions. No need to use square brackets as you expand the contracted word. 4. Write shillings for s and pence for d. Use a "£" sign before numeral, otherwise "pound" or "pounds" 5. Put a square bracket around a word which is doubtful. Use capital "X" for each unknown letter in a word. Put a "?" at the start of the doubtful word in square brackets. As in [?AndrXX] or [?Andro]. 6. For weights and measures, which are often abbreviated, think "hundredweight", "stones", "pounds", "ounces"; "barrels", "butts", "hogsheads"; "gallons", "quarts", pints"; "ells" (measure of cloth). For more background on C17th weights and measures browse the MarineLives weights and measures glossary 7. DON'T insert the amounts of money recorded in the account books on the RH side of the page. Colin is sorting out THE most efficient way to enter tabular data in the wiki. Until then, concentrate on the words.

Transcription tips: Think laterally. Andrew Hardie's spelling in his account book in in HCA 30/636/3 is particularly unusual. Colin (a half Scot) is convinced Hardie is a Scot, but has no proof, other than the intriguing fact that Hardie dictated his will, whilst sick and living in the "Scot's house" in Middleburg, after the Abraham had arrived there from Barbados.

1. ↑ Modern shoes exist in two and three soled versions. See, for example, Church's double sole range
2. ↑ "okkome" = oakum. "Oakum is a preparation of tarred fibre used to seal gaps. Its main traditional applications were in shipbuilding, for caulking or packing the joints of timbers in wooden vessels...In ship caulking, it was forced into the seams using a hammer and a caulking iron, then sealed into place with hot pitch." (Wikipedia entry: Oakum)
3. ↑ "ankeretsch" = anchorage; "berkeinge" = berthing. Anchorage and berthing charges are petty port charges paid by ships in Early Modern (and Modern) ports. EXPAND THIS NOTE
4. ↑ "sogers" = souldiers
5. ↑ "Cinsall" = Kinsale in Ireland
6. ↑ "My met habber" was Phillop (or Phillip] Habber. Habber was one of two master's mates in the Abraham of London. The other was John Jay or Joy. See list of company of the Abraham of London
7. ↑ Legal charges incurred in connection with ship's carpenter of the Abraham, who appears to have been imprisoned in Kinsale, Ireland
